# Utility Bill

The **Utility Bill API** provides accurate energy usage on an address-specific basis without a utility bill. The API responds with electricity and fossil fuel consumption and cost data for the past 12 months. This information is especially valuable for solar salespeople, enabling them to obtain instant energy consumption data and cost per kilowatt hour (kWh) to utilize in initial estimates and proposals before requesting or receiving a homeowner’s utility bill.

**Key Features:**
- Monthly, quarterly, and annual electricity consumption and cost breakdown, including electricity utility rate.
- Emissions data and CO₂ analytics related to electricity usage.
- Fossil fuel usage statistics including cost, type, and utility rate.
- Ratio analysis between electricity and fossil fuel consumption.

The response includes a `electricToFossilRatio` field representing the ratio of electricity usage to fossil fuel usage over the last 12 months. 
- If a home has a ratio less than 1, it indicates the home consumes more fossil fuel than electricity.
- If a home uses only electricity and no fossil fuels, the ratio value will be `null`.

The API responds with a structured summary of utility usage or a message indicating that no valid data is available for the given address.
